Mr. Robert Watt:
We can never say never but we are taking steps to reduce the incidence of overpayment. We hope that in the next few years we will get to a figure that is better. It is an issue for us and a concern. However, the numbers should be seen in the overall context of the pay bill. In the Civil Service, the pay bill is €1.5 billion. The numbers need to be seen in that context. It is a concern for us. Perhaps Ms Paula Lyons will come in.
